CLion 2016.3 Help

Setup Master Password Dialog

If your master password is not set yet,
you can open this dialog by clicking Master Password
on the Passwords page.
In certain circumstances, this dialog may also open automatically.

Specify the password that you want to be set as your master password.
(
The master password is used to access the CLion password database
where - if so specified - your passwords are stored.
Instead of the individual passwords,
you'll be able to use your master password.)

You can set the
password empty.
As a result, CLion won't ask you for the password when accessing the password database.
However, the security of your passwords in that case will be lower.

Item

Description

Password

Specify the
master password.

Confirm password

Type the
master password once more.

Encrypt with OS user credentials

For Windows only: if you select this check box,
the master password itself will be stored encrypted in the password database.
(Your Windows logon credentials will be used for encryption.)

As a result, CLion won't ask you for the master password
when accessing the password database.
